Siemens and NVIDIA Deepen Partnership to Scale Industrial AI

Siemens AG today announced an expanded strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence across industrial design, manufacturing, and operations.

The strengthened Siemens NVIDIA partnership brings together NVIDIA’s AI computing infrastructure with Siemens’ industrial software, automation platforms, and engineering expertise to better connect digital simulation with real-world production environments.

The collaboration focuses on delivering industrial AI across the entire lifecycle, from product design and virtual testing to factory operations and optimization. A major goal is the creation of adaptive manufacturing sites powered by AI-enabled digital twins. Siemens’ Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Germany, will act as the first reference site, with deployment planned from 2026.

By integrating software-defined automation with NVIDIA’s Omniverse platform, manufacturing systems will continuously analyze digital twins, test changes in virtual environments, and roll out improvements directly on the shop floor. This setup allows factories to reduce downtime, improve quality, and respond faster to operational changes.

The Siemens NVIDIA partnership also extends to electronic design automation. Siemens will integrate GPU acceleration and NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries across its EDA portfolio. These upgrades are expected to significantly cut simulation and verification times while improving accuracy and yield in semiconductor design workflows.

Beyond production, the companies are jointly developing reference architectures for next-generation AI factories. These blueprints address power density, cooling, automation, and lifecycle efficiency to support the growing demand for large-scale AI infrastructure.

Both companies will deploy the technologies internally before offering them to customers, delivering proven use cases and performance benchmarks. Several industrial customers are already evaluating selected capabilities under the expanded collaboration.
